Our Adventure Is Under Way

We have arrived at our historic/funky hotel in San Jose. The first thing we did when we arrived last night was turn on the TV just in time to watch the Lakers win in overtime! When we look out our window, we see the National Museum and a lot of traffic; including train tracks complete with a train that makes for a great alarm clock at 6:30 AM. One note about the museum, the corner adjacent to our hotel is festooned with bullet holes from a revolutionary war! SJ is a crazy, loud, smoggy place and it has poured rain most of the day. However, we spent a couple great hours exploring the city and checking out the plazas, people, and markets. Tomorrow we head down the Pacuare River to our Bungalow in the Jungalow.
